Sylvaneth – Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth Greatswords
5" 5 4+ 2 Kurnoth Hunters are considered taciturn and strange even by other Sylvaneth. Their soulpods were planted after Alarielle’s metamorphosis into her war aspect, and what emerged was unlike anything that had come before. Masters of weapons as large as mortal men, Kurnoth Hunters are the knights of the forest, and their presence heralds a coming time of trial. Kurnoth Hunters will hunt down their prey with never-ending stamina, enduring defiantly as they strike down their foes.
Kurnoth Hunters are capable of detecting the subtlest arcane vibrations along the realmroots and spreading a portion of this power to their kin. Their affinity with the land also makes them excellent scouts; they often serve to secure sacred sites before the Sylvaneth’s enemies – or ostensible allies – can reach them.
Those Kurnothi that wield greatswords are the immovable front lines of the Sylvaneth warglades. They charge through the enemy with bludgeoning strides and swinging blades, decapitating those that do not fall beneath their churning roots. It is their job to cut down the enemy before they can approach the sacred groves of the Sylvaneth or to hunt and punish those that have affronted the Everqueen. | ||

32.1 Contesting Objectives
Unless otherwise specified, if an objective is within a model’s combat range, that model is contesting that objective. If any models in a unit are contesting an objective, that unit is contesting that objective.Each unit can only count as contesting a single objective for the purposes of determining objective control (see 32.2). Before determining objective control, for each of their units contesting two or more objectives, the active player must pick one of those objectives for it to contest. Then, their opponent does the same.
Designer’s Note: For purposes other than determining objective control, a unit can contest more than one objective.
